Last month it was reported that Pete, who is now happily married to doctor wife Emily with whom he shares two children Amelia, four and 21-month-old Theo, had taken charge of the two children he shares with Katie.

Princess, 11, and Junior, 13, are said to have been living with him since May, as Katie recovered from what she'd described as 'her year from hell.'

Katie narrowly avoided being declared bankrupt by the High Court earlier this month, and was instead given 12 weeks to come up with a plan to control her finances.

The news came following Katie's own admission that she'd breached the terms of her driving ban and had reported herself into police.
